Purrs for friends

We heard yesterday that our old friend Kiki from cat_aunty's gang is not well at all and has been hospitalised yesterday. There are some issues with dehydration and not eating. He still has to undergo some more tests but for now it is just recuperating and fluids. Hang in there Kiki. We know what it is like waiting but do your best.

Easy Sunday on Monday

 Lalalala....so much space and so cool too...

 Hmmm..this Bujang should slim down. I can't see past him...

The pheromone collar - the lavender is very strong though not unpleasant. It is true that she no longer meows excessively. These days she does not have a constant 'whining' meow. They are more like requests - to get out, to walk, to eat...

Ms Akira did not get a chance to walk along the corridor last week as I hurt my back a little. She made many requests but once she sees me sitting, she also settles down herself to watch the 'outside'. However, last night, we both braved it along the corridor and I was pleased to see her standing her ground when our neighbour 'clanged' his gate opened. Bujang would not have been so brave and neither would Tanaka be. She is quite the warrior!

She is also taking, apart from her allergies homeo meds, something from Spirit Essence called Self-Esteem. I am trying to cut back on her Ovarid, giving her only 1/4 a week instead of twice a week. We will have to monitor her grooming habits closely still though.

Lazeabout Saturday

Ms Akira and grandma...zzz

ps. Ms Akira is also wearing a pheromone collar. The only colour is purple:0 I do not know if it was effective as she is also taking some calming homeo meds. All I know id she is indeed calmer and much more confident.

Cat in sunbeams

 This afternoon, I had a quiet time outside. I had sunbeams to play in.

I was out for only an hour with san but it was very good. I hope we have sunbeams again for me to bathe in.

Just Because

 I sometimes spend my time being very serious and I take care of the house in your absence, it doesn't mean

I am not a lazeabout. I am quite versatile, especially on Mondays...

Welcome 2013

 Red water lilies in the pond at Angkor Wat

Cambodia is a country of water lilies and lotus. Each time we pass a body of water, there will be water lilies in it. It creates a calm and peaceful atmosphere for everyone. There was hardly anyone who sounded the horn at anyone else. It was one of the quietest places I have ever been to. And so for 2013, I hope for peace and calm for all of us here and for everyone else.

 My wish for 2013 is for good health and more treats - the Friskies kind please san.

I am rather pleased with this very clear picture of Megat. It is not often that I get to see his face at all clearly with the camera :) Megat is getting more mellow and sleeps a lot. He is getting on but his heart is big enough for everyone in the house - even Tanaka!

Bujang greeted 2013 with a nap.

Happy 2013! May the year be all that you want it to be!

Giving Thanks

In our last post for 2012, we give thanks for all the good times we had with each other and with the kindness of all the bloggers who came to see us. We also want to thank the bloggers who comforted us when our little kitty Totoro went to the bridge on 16th September. It was a dark day for all of us here and the kindness that everyone showed us made us feel loved and cared for.We still remember goofy Totoro and his love for soft breezes and cuddles and we know we were very lucky to have him for a time. 

We hope 2013 beings for everyone happiness and joy.

Easy Peasy Sunday

A water-lily sees us all peaceful this morning. This was taken in Cambodia at the Silver Pagoda but I thought it says all that want and wish for kitties and their beans everywhere.

 san will not be going anywhere soon, which is good. Taking care of the house is very tiring when I have to do it alone. Its time for some easy living now.

 Easy Living? No way. I am still hopeful of surprising the little gurl!

zzz...

 zzz...

We have stopped wiping her down with the warm salt water. She gets nervous and would not come out of her cubby hole when she sees Cousin R and me. So I have started her on some other homeopathy meds and  she has since slowed down her over-grooming and stress levels. She is more laid-back and confident and would ask to go out of the room as much as she can. She does not even mind walking along the corridor in the late afternoon when it is quiet. This picture was taken last Thursday when she came out in the late morning and she fell asleep here in the breeze.

This is what Ms Akira has in her food (1.5ml) and her water (1/2 a capful) every day. It seems to work very well for her. Although the vet says that she is over-grooming because of stress, she may have allergies that we do not know about. of course with her leg not bothering her so much (thanks to the osteopath AD) she is also feeling much better. But of course she is still not mixing with Tanaka and Megat as she is still fearful of them. I think we have a long way to go with that problem.

HMMM....

We are seriously not pleased that san is going away T_O_D_A_Y! and leaving us alone. Well..ok not alone. Cousin R will be staying over some nights to take care offur us and so will san's sister N. Ok, maybe we will be ok wifout hur for 5 whole days. She told us she would be in Cambodia to see Angkor Wat and generally take a break.

Also san read that today 21 Dec 2012 is thought to be endoftheworld . Hmmm...in that case san should be wif us and not traipsing around. I do not know what these beans are up to. But one fing I do know is that we would get many treats from our sitters, esp Cousin R, as they all think we are soooo cute...and we are :))

Shenanigans!

It's time for SHE-NA-NI-GANS again! Mine and err...san says Ms Akira's also.I fink she is learning from me, her bruffer about shenanigans. san put this purty box out. I know she meant it fur me as I am the resident cat-in-the-box. So my brain said -Its TIME. I fink if I sit in here, the little gurl will not see me.

 Hmmm...lets see if she comes close to the door!

I wonder where she is?

 (Ms Akira is sitting at the far left just watching him)

Tanaka would sometimes sit on the green boxes and wait for her. I think he thinks if he does this, she may come close to the gate and he can ambush her right there. Before, she had come quite close but she realised in time that he was hiding behind the wall close to the gate or on top of  the green boxes! So now she has taken to doing this;

Taking a nap away from the gate. She spends quite some time in this cubby hole as it  is hidden from view. Maybe the experiment is not working out so well as the purpose of me putting the gates was for them to look at each other and m_a_y_b_e be a little more friendly. 

Napping...zzzz

For 2 days in a row, she has taken to hiding in here when its time for her warm salt bath so she has not had any. She is a clever kitty I must say. But as she is in here and not under her blanket, I think she may be a little cooler which is a good thing as well.

Just Because

A special moment...a first :)
